The top 3 eyewear trends for summer 2021 Futuristic, sporty or vintage?

2020 was a bit of an unfortunate year for sunglasses. With half the world relegated to the four home walls, there weren't many opportunities to get out in daylight – and so most of our sunglasses stayed to get the dust in their enclosures. But 2020 is over and now summer 2021 is getting closer and closer. Fashion brands, large or small, have certainly not put eyewear design to the side and the proposals of the latest collections for the spring season reflect, with the abundance of their proposals, the strong desire to leave the house that has overwhelmed everyone with the arrival of the summer. The huge variety of models released this year can, however, be organized into three aesthetic macro-aircraft and, therefore, three macro-trends: futuristic eyewear, vintage eyewear and sporty eyewear.

Futuristic Eyewear

The most loved and widespread category, as well as the most varied, is that concerning sunglasses with a vintage style. In recent shows, two very different brands such as Gucci and Celine, for example, have shown how many variations are possible: if for example Alessandro Michele has embraced maximalism, with cat-eye frames and huge frames in full '60s and '70s style; Hedi Slimane has adopted the manly and somewhat austere charm of aviator or military models. When you are uncertain about what style to adopt, in fact, a frame of glasses with a vintage flavor is always a safe bet both for those looking for absolute sobriety and for those who favor a certain eccentricity. Classic brands such as Ray-Ban or Persol remain a point of reference but prada's new SS21 collection or Valentino's collection should not be underestimated – as well as the collaboration between Vogue and Millie Bobbie Brown and, once again, chapel Petrassi's retro-flavored models.
